Andi Hot Springs

The Andi Hot Springs Resort is situated beside a county-level highway, with miles of dense pine forests, the faint scent of orchids, and blooming camellias, offering a perfect setting for leisure and medical relaxation. In the vicinity of Gan Zhuang Village, there is a stone forest hidden within the woods, known as the “forest within a forest,” which is also a remarkable sightseeing spot. Nearby, the Xiao Longjing Cave, where several saber-toothed elephant tusks have been excavated, and the historic settlement known as "Bazhai," are both popular destinations for visitors. Five kilometers south of Andi, at the Qishan Fork in the road, an ancient route that once "led north to Shuixi, south to Huangsha Ferry, and east to Zunyi"

still features remnants from the Ming Dynasty such as the "Daying" military camp and the former official stronghold of the Tusi chieftains. Other attractions include the Lotus Cave, Wenjiaqiao Reservoir, and Mujiaqiao Reservoir, all of which are great spots for escaping the summer heat. To the east of the town lies Baihu Mountain, atop which is the "Fairy Cave." Outside the cave stands a temple exclusively inhabited by monks and hermits, while at the mountain’s base roars the thunderous Dou Tan Waterfall. Countless visitors flock here to hike the mountain and worship at the temple, creating a lively atmosphere. To the west of the town is Guoyong Fort, the former residence site of Wang Sanzha Ba, a leader of the peasant uprising during the Xianfeng and Tongzhi eras of the Qing Dynasty. Southeast of the town is Chuandong Reservoir, the largest provincial-level fish breeding farm in the region. The resettled residents of the reservoir area continue to maintain the riverside customs and traditions. All of these sites are highly sought-after by travelers.
